The 26 Regiment was formed of 10 companies from Anson, Alamance, Ash, Caldwell, Chatham, Moore, Randolph, Union, Wake and Wilkes. The 10 companies completed the organization of the Regiment by elect in ZB Vance Col., HK Burgwyn Lieut. Col., and a B Carmichael major.
Immediately upon the organization of the Regiment it was ordered to defense of Fort Macon on Bogue Island, leaving Camp Crabtree near Raleigh the 12 September, 1861.
